This is brilliant but also super scary. AI has come front and center in one of the most dangerous times in human history, a time when more than ever folks are anti-science and opinion has become fact and/or truth.

The irony that those who choose not to vaccinate their children are the same ones screaming about being pro-life and warning us of the dangers of trans women and drag queens. This world is truly upside down. No child should have to die from any preventable disease.

Who is using @flashes.blue and @bluescreen.blue ?

I'm in the process of deleting my presence from Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Meta, and other places. I changed my phone number and I've started using Proton Mail, MySudo, Privacy.com, and Bitwarden to secure my online accounts, utilizing unique email aliases and generated passwords for each account.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I hate photos like this. These are fucking humans. They have names, they have lives! Anyone know them? Alquien los conoce? Alguien sabe los nombres de estes hombres?

Just because you don’t understand the (physical and social) science around gender and sex-assigned-at-birth does not mean you get to make up the definitions of those things and force others to define it the same way. #FuckYourBinary #TransHumansExist

This is wild! But what is even more telling are the liberal and "neutral" spaces that have been so eager and willing to comply when an EO or any sort of letter carries any judiciary weight behind it. It's almost as if all of these companies and university organizations never cared about DEI /s.

Hey look! Now we have a dashboard where you can watch the destruction of the United States in real time: www.project2025.observer

This morning, Leonard Peltier was released from over 49 years of wrongful incarceration. Peltier is an enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and will reside on his Tribal homelands in North Dakota.

Yup.

Well, got my results back from the doctor and like millions of other Americans, I've got the Influenza A. Day two of missing work in a system where I've used all of my sick days and am not eating up my vacation days. Also, it's only February and my high deductible plan is killing me.

You cannot make this shit up. Jewish man mistake two Israelis as “Palestinian.” So he shoots them. They in turn think they were attacked by an antisemitic “Arab.” When we talk about how racism and oppression impact and hurt those with power, this is exactly what we are talking about!

I haven’t been this sick in a long time. A month ago my roommate became sick and passed it to me, we think it was a bad bacterial infection (cold). She came home coughing on Thursday and by Friday I started to feel it in my chest. Have had chills, aches, fever all weekend. Maybe the flu?

Our garage as these transparent panels and the sunrise looked pretty this morning.

You just read this, if only because the trumpers would like you not to. Gree download for two weeks

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

I can’t wait to see the videos of MAGA being interviewed in the streets and asked about this comment, then when they agree with their Führer they are asked about the US-Mexican border. Let’s start teaching logic in school again.

Oh this is dangerous. I’m not trying to add to the alarmist rhetoric, but come on, JD Vance can’t be that civically illiterate, right? The whole point of the judicial branch is to make sure the legislative and executive branches remain constitutional.

There must have been a sports ball event going on or something tonight.

Liberals and Republicans are fighting over whether or not USAID was created by congress or by an EO by JFK. Well, it was born out of an EO by JFK but made an “independent establishment” by congress in 1998, so only congress can abolish it (see 5 u.s.c 104).

This would be an unlawful seizure of territory in violation of the United Nations Charter, and the forcible transfer of the population of Gaza would constitute crimes against humanity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Black History in the making!

Super excited! I was able to register for a plot in my local community garden! I'm eager to get planning and planting! Come on spring/summer, you can come anytime!

It's far more exhausting spending the day posting stuff that's logical, than posting the same old shit everyone else is posting for clicks. However...it's not the "clicks" that are going to have the impact; it will be people thinking deeply about what they're doing, and asking, "Is this useful?"

Black History Month is NOT cancelled. Just FYI.

Tariffs history: what happened the last time America did this?

At what point will the world stand up to the United States and say enough is a enough?

DEI is to blame for the plane crash at Reagan. Ok.

Our worst nightmare.

@flashesapp.bsky.social please get @pinksky.app and make yours better? Thanks !

I’m just going to leave this here.

I keep thinking about what might have happened if people had listened to Patricia Williams, Charles Lawrence, Mari Matsuda, Gary Peller, Jonathan Kahn, and other actual critical race theorists about the shift away from racial justice towards diversity as a framework medium.com/space-anthro...

Wait, it says "under 19 years old." So 18-year-olds are now considered children in the US?
